How to Name an Au Ra Character?
An Au Ra name follows the rule of its clan: a Japanese-style name for a Raen and a Mongolian-style name for a Xaela. Raen family names often come from a weapon, a rank, or a trade. Xaela take the name of their tribe as a surname. Every forename in this generator is a real Japanese or Mongolian word. The table below shows each pattern with an example.
| Clan | Forename | Surname | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raen | Japanese word for nature or weather | Weapon, rank, or trade | Hayate Hatamoto | Sudden wind, of the bannerman family |
| Raen (female) | Japanese word for a flower or a season | Weapon, rank, or trade | Tsubaki Takajo | Camellia, of the falconer family |
| Xaela | Mongolian word for a beast or a strength | Name of the tribe | Arslan Avagnar | Lion, of the Avagnar tribe |
| Xaela (female) | Mongolian word for the sky or a gem | Name of the tribe | Saran Malqir | Moon, of the Malqir tribe |
4 Quick Tips for Naming an Au Ra
- Pick the clan first. The clan sets the language, so a Raen suits Hayate, and a Xaela suits Arslan.
- Use a tribe for a Xaela. A Xaela surname is the name of the tribe, such as Avagnar or Malqir.
- Use a trade or weapon for a Raen. Family names like Kajiya (blacksmith) and Yumiya (bow and arrow) fit the Raen pattern.
- Skip canon names. Names like Hien, Lyse, and Cirina belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
